Why is it called the Black Sea? I discussed this a bit on Kaunting Kaalaman, one of my segments on “TV Patrol.” Long, long ago, the Black Sea was once a freshwater lake. Today, it is known for its brackishness and “blackness.” The Black Sea, situated between Asia and Europe and bordering Turkey, was in the news recently when deadly flash floods swept through Turkey’s Black Sea region.
